Thanks to all of you that came to our First Grade Parents night. I hope that you left with an understanding of how we will be conducting our Literacy Block this year. If you have any questions regarding this, please ask away! We still need volunteers to help with the Literacy Block on Thursday and Friday mornings from 9:00-10:30. If you feel that you can help or possibly switch to one of those days, let me know that also. I will let you know when we will start needing you to come.
Today in your child's backpack, please look for a new spelling list, decodeable books, and several Scholastic book orders. I love books, so I will be sending those home each month. Of course, ordering books is optional, but it helps build our class library and your home library. There are always $1.00 books available. These book orders will be due, Tuesday, September 6. Make your checks payable to Scholastic.
Please make sure that your child is on time to school. School starts at 8:50 and we start working then. When our Literacy block officially begins we start right at 9:00 and if you child is late it will cause a disruption, especially since the children will possibly be moving to a different classroom.
I hope that you are reading with your child for 20 minutes five times per week. This one-on-one reading is invaluable. Remember that August's reading record (the paper with the sun pictures) is due on September 1. I was very pleased with the results of our first spelling test. Thanks for helping to study these words with your child at home.
I have a fun group of First Graders! I enjoy teaching them!
Have a nice Labor Day holiday and Happy Reading!
